More than $400,000 in donations will keep all Baltimore park pools open through Labor Day.

The city closed pools on Sunday to help close a budget gap. But as temperatures climbed into the upper 90s on Wednesday, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced that $300,000 from an unnamed donor and $117,000 from the T. Rowe Price Foundation will allow some pools to reopen.
